Celebrity Hair Transplants

May 24, 2016 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

Hair transplants in the celebrity world are becoming more and more common with plenty of male stars admitting to having the treatment and sharing their stories.

Wayne Rooney Before and After hair transplant
Wayne Rooney Before and After Treatment

‘Doing the Rooney’ referencing footballer Wayne Rooney, who publicly announced his hair transplant treatment back in 2011, he has since returned to Harley Street for a second treatment in 2013.

From his initial announcement, plenty more male celebrities have followed suit, no longer feeling ashamed and openly admitting to having the treatment in order to boost their confidence.

Calum Best is another male celebrity who is not ashamed of letting everyone know about his procedures.  He recently had a third hair transplant in 2015 before his Celebrity Big Brother appearance. The son of footballing legend George Best has said:

“It was nature’s plan was for me to have thin and patchy hair across the top of my scalp. But the great thing is, we don’t have to follow nature’s plan. Hair transplant technology has improved so much in the last five years and I have been able to keep hold of all my hair and wear it in my the same way as I did when I was in my teens.”

But hair transplants go further than the footballing world, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey has also admitted to having treatment after suffering from an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic.  This left him with a swollen face shortly after, which can be common with FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) so it is always important to discuss any allergies with your surgeon before-hand. Ramsey has also since gone on to have a reported second procedure which left him sporting an unusual hairstyle one evening, a tell-tale sign of FUE.

Actor James Nesbitt has become an advocate for hair transplants. Speaking in a promotional video he states how losing his hair was not only a concern but it soon became an addiction.  Being in the public eye made him more aware of his hair loss issues. He goes on to say how he has chosen to use his positive experience of surgery to help others considering hair restoration treatment and the importance of doing your research and finding the best clinic and surgeon that will make you feel confident with your decision.

Australian choreographer and Dancing on Ice judge, Jason Gardiner has gone through his hair restoration treatment in the public eye also. Gardiner previously admitted in 2007 to having intense laser treatments and a hair transplant which involved using donor hair to be placed onto his head, a treatment which he said did not work and since that point decided to accept the fact that he was losing his hair. Used to seeing Gardiner in his trademark caps it was a surprise for him to reveal on TV during an episode of Dancing on Ice in 2011 that he had a head full of hair once more!

It has since emerged that Jason Gardiner went through with a hair transplant procedure called ‘Follicular Unit Transplantation’ but it was 9 months of secrecy before he revealed his new do to the public due to the time it takes for new hair to grow following the procedure.

Geordie Shore star Kyle Christie is a surprisingly young star to undergo a hair transplant at the age of 24. Hair transplant specialists at The Private Clinic have said that it is not uncommon for men to get the treatment at his age, particularly if hair loss is hereditary.

In the press most recently is Kylie Minogue’s fiancé Joshua Sasse, as he’s been sporting an array of elaborate hats and scarves in an attempt to cover up his recovering scalp perhaps. Looking at before images you may not instantly recognise him as being an obvious candidate for the procedure but as mentioned by James Nesbitt previously, any type of hair loss or thinning for men can not only be a concern, but it can become an addiction and can affect anyone’s confidence significantly.

Of course, just because you may not be a budding Hollywood actor or TV personality doesn’t mean you are any less of a candidate for a hair transplant procedure. However, reading these celebrity stories does give you some points to consider before going ahead with treatment;

  • You may need more than one treatment.
  • It is a surgical procedure and not a decision to make lightly.
  • You must do your research.
  • You may have to shave your head or sport a slightly different hairstyle for a period of time afterwards.
  • Do not expect instant results.
  • Do not be ashamed of considering treatment if you are young. Speak to a specialist who will be able to advise you on your best options to reduce hair loss going forward which may not require surgical treatment.
  • Have a good collection of hats and headgear for post-surgery recovery.

Novelty hats aside, a hair transplant is a serious procedure and it is important that you do your research into the different types of treatments and see as many specialists as you can to get the best idea of what you will be able to achieve.

The Hair Transplant patient journey at The Private Clinic

April 7, 2016 by dina.elbarbary Leave a Comment

With over 30 years of medical experience behind us, we absolutely understand the fear and anxiety that can come with Hair Loss, and we appreciate the considerations that often come hand in hand when trying to find a suitable treatment.

Patient safety, education and satisfaction form the cornerstones of how we approach and treat those who come to us, so we’re relying on reviews taken from Trustpilot (a customer experience community review platform) to give you a sense of what to expect when you come in for a Hair Transplant consultation and treatment at The Private Clinic.

Prior to your consultation

Hair Transplant procedures are aimed at patients who are suffering from Hair Loss and have bald patches they wish to repopulate with healthy hair. So, for us, the first order of business when you call to book your consultation is to determine whether this is an appropriate treatment for you.

If you don’t have Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia), your hair is only thinning and you have no bald patches, then you should see a hair health specialist, know as a Trichologist. They can determine exactly what’s causing your condition and the best way to treat it. This is particularly the case for women, as female Hair Loss is usually caused by either hormonal imbalances, stress, illness, nutrition or Traction Alopecia.

During your call we’ll ask you a certain amount of key questions to make sure that you’re on course for the right treatment, and we then offer you a choice between seeing one of our extensively-trained patient advisors for free, or to have a thorough consultation with one of our elite Hair Transplant Surgeons for £100. This option exists so as to provide our patients with the opportunity to gather as much information about the treatment before committing to a consultation.

This was exactly the case for Craig, who meet with our Patient Advisor Sorena to determine if the procedure was a viable option for him. He said:

craig

craig_1

Providing our patients with a comfortable environment where they can discuss their concerns with us is an essential part of the assessment process, and at this stage, our patient advisors will also be able to determine if there is any obvious reason why you may not be suitable for a Hair Transplant and if one of our other experts may be of better help to you – saving you time and money.

During the consultation

A consultation with one of our Hair Transplant Surgeons allows for 45 minutes, during which you will undergo a thorough examination of your scalp and hair, followed by a discussion of your medical history.

This is an opportunity to see if there are any underlying conditions and as Arnold found out, you should be wary of clinics that do not address these matters with you.

Arnold  said:Arnold

It would be unethical for us to offer you a treatment if we don’t think it’s likely to be a success. Furthermore, we work with world-class professionals who will only ever offer you honest advice, and will never push you to commit to a procedure, or give you false assurances.

beard transplants - FUE
Dr Reddy is one of the most sought-after Hair Transplant Surgeons in Europe.

Your surgeon will discuss any pre-operative measures that you may need to take, what to expect on the day of your surgery, and what kind of post-operative care will be required on your part during the appointment. Most importantly, they will manage your expectations, explain the hair regrowth cycle and the frustration you may feel during the first 4-5 months post-treatment, as well as remind you that your full results may not be visible until 9 months after your Hair Transplant.

On the day of your Hair Transplant

Your surgeon will go over the surgery and the months to follow with you once again before the beginning of the procedure. Depending on your needs and suitability, we offer Shaven (FUE) and Unshaven (UFUE) Follicular Unit Extraction. Both involve healthy hair follicles being individually taken from a donor area and being transplanted to a bold area. As the names make it clear, an FUE requires a shaved head, while it can remain unshaven for a UFUE.

Local anaesthetic is used to minimise discomfort and a 0.6mm-0.9mm punch device is used to move the hairs. The procedure lasts several long hours, so patients often chose to chat, read, watch TV or even sleep during the transplant, as most patients say they hardly feel any pain.

JCB Reed agreed, saying:

JCB

Your Hair Transplant team will be constantly checking up on you during the procedure, making sure that you are comfortable and taking care of your needs.

Follow ups and results

After the FUE the team will restate the post-operative measures you need to take, and provide you with their contact details, so that you can keep them updated with your progress.

Patients tend to worry in the seven months following the Hair Transplant, but remember that during this time of transition, we will be just a phone call away, even if all you need is a reassuring chat.

The pros far outweighed the cons, according to Andrew:

Hair growth cycle after FUE Hair Transplantation

July 23, 2015 by dina.elbarbary Leave a Comment

With modern techniques, a Hair Transplant procedure can be performed in as little as a day. But, for most of our patients, it’s not the treatment itself that’s the hard part…it’s waiting for the results afterwards.

Before, immediately after and final results by The Private Clinic’s Dr Raghu Reddy

After a FUE Hair Transplant treatment you’ll be able to see your new hair line immediately, but it will take a little while longer for you to reap the benefits of your final results. Everyone’s hair is different, meaning the exact process you’ll go through to see your results will vary massively from everyone else. Your hair will still grow at its normal rate so it’s crucial to remember that undergoing a transplant treatment will not change this and there’s no magic button to speed up the frustrating process.

To understand how your hair might grow after a FUE hair transplant, you need to first of all appreciate your hair growth cycle and how, exactly, each strand grows. A hair’s active growth period is known as the anagen phase and this is where cells in the follicle’s bulb (the place where growth occurs) rapidly divide, causing the hair to grow an average of 1cm every four weeks. When your hair is healthy and not experiencing thinning, 90% of it will be in this phase at any one time where it will remain for around 2-7 years. After its active growth period, hair will then enter the catagen phase (a transitional period where growth begins to stop), followed by the telogen phase in which your hair is released and falls out. Hair loss and thinning occurs when this cycle is disrupted, meaning hairs spend less time in the anagen phase.

After a Hair Transplant, your hair will continue this exact cycle – meaning it will grow at the same rate it did prior to being transplanted.  Most patients will find they shed some of the newly transplanted hairs a few weeks after treatment, which is completely normal and nothing to worry about. This is due to the follicle being starved of its blood supply for a brief period. The follicle and graft will still be in tact, and most patients tend to notice new hair growing around 3-4 months after any loss has occurred.

Before, During, After Hair Transplantation FUE results The private clinic
Your new hair line will be visible immediately, but the final results won’t be visible until the hair has regrown fully a few months after treatment.

Apart from this (which is a fairly standard expectation), the time until your final outcome will be entirely individual. Remember, hairs are asynchonous (in other words they grow out of sync with one another and will always be in different stages at any one time) meaning there’ll be no huge rush of hair. Results can begin to show themselves as early as four to six weeks after the treatment, but your final result won’t be noticable until at least five to six months after. Some patients will take as much as 18 months, depending on their natural hair, to see the results they were striving for. And, while it can feel frustrating, key to making sure everything is coming along as it should is staying in close contact with your clinic and surgeon. They should explain to you what to expect from your recovery and invite you to post-procedure check ups to make sure everything is coming along as intended.

As an (extremely rough) timeline, you might expect:

Day one after hair transplant surgery

You’ll usually be asked to wash your hair extremely gently to get rid of any blood remaining and you should normally expect some soreness, numbness and oozing from the recipient area.

Watch patient Steven Ashworth talk about his results 1 day after treatment:

First week

Scabbing and swelling will start to disappear on around the second to third day after treatment and any redness will begin to subside.

Watch patient Steven Ashworth talk about his results 4 days after treatment:

Second week

By the tenth day after treatment your transplanted hair grafts should be firmly in place, meaning any residual crusting can be gently rubbed off. You may also notice the transplanted hairs beginning to shed – this is completely normal. You can return to your usual shampoo, brushing and combing regime and can get a hair cut if you wish.

Watch patient Graham Satchwell talk about his results two weeks after treatment:

Three to four weeks

Transplanted hair will often continue to shed during this period, and you may look very similar to your pre-procedure self.

Watch patient Steven Ashworth talk about his results 4 weeks after treatment:

Second to fifth months

The transplanted hair will begin to grow again, normally more fine than usual and getting thicker as the months go on.

Sixth to twelfth month

Your hair will continue to grow and thicken during this time, often undergoing texture changes. Most patients will begin to see something that resembles their final result during this period.

Watch patient Douglas McAdams talk about his results 6 months after treatment:

One to two years after

Your final results will be visible. Some patients can take up to 18 months to notice the real changes they wanted, and hair may continue to change after this.

It’s a cliché, but patience is a virtue when it comes to hair transplantation. While the treatment only takes a day, the one thing the skill of a surgeon can’t change is how quickly results will show through, meaning you should expect to wait several months until you see the final outcome. We can’t change how quickly your hair grows, but we can be there with you every step of the way to ensure you’re informed, happy and confident you’ll achieve precisely what we promised.

The Rooney Effect? The Rise of the Male Hair Transplant

June 24, 2014 by dina.elbarbary Leave a Comment

After England’s less than inspiring World Cup defeat, it’s impossible to avoid hearing about the country’s only goal scorer, Wayne Rooney. Flashback to three years ago, however, and the England team’s not-quite golden boy was in the news for a very different reason; his first, and very well-publicised, hair transplant.

“I was going bald at 25 why not?” tweeted the England and Manchester United forward in an honest announcement to his millions of fans in 2011. And now it seems more of those suffering are beginning to take that attitude, with UK clinics noting a huge rise in the number of men undergoing the treatment each year.

At The Private Clinic, we’ve already seen a 120% increase in the amount of hair transplants that have taken place in the first half of 2014, and it’s hard to deny the effect celebrity endorsement can have. Dan Jude, journalist and  hair transplant patient at The Private Clinic, wrote in Grazia magazine a few weeks ago that Rooney’s declaration had been the first glimmer of hope he’d had since beginning to lose his hair as a teenager, while TV presenter Martin Roberts  said in the Daily Express of his transplant “When you [see] people like Wayne Rooney and James Nesbitt being so open about having help, you do think why not?”.

The approval of household names certainly helps to break down any stigma that might have been associated with talking about hair loss treatment, but it is perhaps the huge advancement of hair transplant methods that has encouraged more people to go ahead with it. Better technology and pioneering surgeons have meant that hair transplant surgery today is quicker, easier, and more effective than ever before.

The Private Clinic uses a method called FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) which works by transplanting individual hair follicles, rather than surgically extracting actual strips of scalp, from healthy parts of the scalp or body (normally the back of head) to the chosen area. The entire procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and there are no stitches required, meaning significantly less recovery time and hardly any visible scarring (though this does depend entirely on your surgeon’s skills). As well as being minimally invasive, however, FUE also yields impressive results; working with individual hairs means that only the strongest follicles are selected and transplanted into the natural direction of your hair growth.

We’re proud that The Private Clinic’s own surgeons Dr Reddy, Dr Luca De Fazio, Dr Mark Tam, Mr Michail Mouzakis and Mr Doraisami Mohan have been behind some of these hair transplant advancements, and their experience is reflected in their work.

6.5 million men in the UK are affected by baldness and hair loss, but thanks to a careful combination of the procedure becoming more talked about and medical professionals constantly improving it, an increasing number are discovering that they don’t have to put up with it. If only we could say the same for England’s football scores…

Tough and Rugged: FUE Beard Transplants

April 4, 2014 by dina.elbarbary Leave a Comment

Among all the features that represent masculinity, facial hair is one that is often thought as the most obvious trait that a man can possess – so it’s certainly no surprise that FUE Hair Transplants are popular for men that desire a thicker and more dense beard.

New York has seen a boom in facial hair transplants recently as young men seek to reflect the facial fashion of the stars. Ryan Gosling, David Beckham, Ben Affleck and Hugh Jackman are just some of the celebrities who are trending not just for their acting but their facial hair too.

And this boom in facial hair transplants hasn’t remained in the Big Apple either. Our very own doctors at The Private Clinic have noticed an increase in demand as well. The UK in the past year has performed over 4,500 beard transplants as men hope to ‘feel more masculine’. A study noted by the Daily Mail has found that as many as 59% of men think that having a beard makes them feel ‘more macho’ while 45% of men complain of odd patches through their sideburns and beards.

It appears that sporting a good haircut doesn’t stop at the top of our heads. Men are seeking rugged designer stubble, bushy moustaches, big sideburns and full beards in order to finish off their stylish look.

Our very own Dr Raghu Reddy – a top UK specialist in hair transplants – has been helping men achieve a fuller beard for the past eight years. Dr Reddy has noticed more young men coming to him for help. Reflecting upon the patients he has treated he recently stated in the Evening Standard: “Men take pride in having a nicely trimmed beard, so I see a lot of men with patchy beards who want in-filling. They associate having a good beard with masculinity.”

So what exactly does it take for one to have a bodacious beard? In this post, we’ll take a look at how an FUE hair transplant can transform a patchy, stubbly beard into an enviably thicker one.

beard transplants - FUE

What does FUE mean?

FUE simply stands for Follicle Unit Extraction, and is a minimally invasive method for restoring and enhancing hair density on different areas of the face and body, in this case, the beard. During the procedure, the donor and treatment areas are numbed with local anaesthetic, the donor follicles are removed with an ultra-fine punch (less than 1mm in diameter) and carefully implanted onto the patchy, thinning areas that lack density on the beard. This method has gained popularity in recent years due to its results and permanency.

What makes an FUE hair transplant different from other methods?

Many other hair restoration methods (like the FUT Strip method) are surgical, involve scalpels, general anaesthetic and tend to leave unsightly scars making them difficult to disguise. The FUE method uses only the healthiest donor hair follicles, and the procedure is virtually painless. The FUE method can safely extract up to 7000 hairs in one session and during this phase, none of the follicular units are destroyed – another attribute that makes this method truly unique.

True to its minimally invasive nature, there is no stitching, scarring or downtime required, and the results are noticeable immediately.

FUE Hair Transplant Pricing

April 2, 2014 by dina.elbarbary Leave a Comment

We understand that the price of any cosmetic or aesthetic treatment plays a substantial role in the consideration process for anyone wanting a hair transplant.

While you should always pay attention to the pricing structures offered to you for a hair transplant, you need to always keep that factor secondary to the quality of care and the results offered by a clinic or surgeon. This extends to their reputation, credentials and experience of both.

We are asked daily about pricing information regarding our various procedures and while we’re more than happy to give you an average price a patient pays, more accurate quotes can only be offered by the surgeon during a consultation after assessing your case and needs.

How much does a FUE Hair Transplant cost?

FUE Hair Transplant procedures at The Private Clinic cost on average; £2.50 per transplanted hair. For patients with a reasonable amount of hair loss, the procedure could cost on average £6,000-8,000. For more extensive procedures, the costs can increase considerably. If you would like an Unshaven (U-FUE) hair transplant, the cost increases further. Many procedures end up costing between £6,000-9,000. More extensive hair restoration procedures may be split into two procedures with a significant gap in between them.

The overall cost of a hair transplant procedure will be calculated by the time taken, amount of hairs transplanted and the difficulty of the procedure. Prices will also often reflect the quality of the procedure and the experience your surgeon may have and often what may appear to be a great deal may not end up being one if you are left with bad results and significant scarring. Here at The Private Clinic we unfortunately often see a lot of patients who require hair transplants to repair poor hair transplant results.
